We ate here twice during our stay at the Es Saadi Hotel and both times there were just a handful of other diners. Why, I can't fathom. If this restaurant was in the UK, it would have a waiting list. You take the elevator in the Palace Hotel reception to the third floor and are led from a beautiful reception... More

We booked a table here during our recent rip to celebrate my wife's birthday. The night before we had eaten at a stall on the main square in the Medina, and for the last evening I thought it might be appropriate to go for somewhere a bit more upscale, which this certainly was. We chose from the Carte Creation, which... More

Visited the restaurant mainl due to its proximity to where we were staying (hivernage) and its Michelin star. Did not disappoint, excellent menu, chefs degustation, and good service. Try it!

Having read the other reviews, I was looking forward to the highlight of our stay in Marrakech, but was deeply dissapointed after having the modern-style menu. A few things that I really wish to share if you consider coming here, as well as with the Chef: Food: The plates look very elaborate indeed, but some combinations just don't fly. Incorporating...

Starter soup "harira", as well as my girlfriend's main dish " le couscous cour de lion" ( royal), and my main dish, lamb shank tajine was delicious and the meat literally falling off the bone. Service is excellent, not pushy but enough to look to the side when you need something and they come to you. Definiyely recommend it. Prices... More

Although we were the ONLY table booked there (apparently Mondays are always quiet) we had an amazing night. Impeccable service, beautiful restaurant. Food was top quality however there was no need for the same foam and garnish on every dish. And maybe too much? Don't let that stop you going though.

We dined here on a Tuesday night early October and it was very quiet, only two other tables all night. We had the best deserts we have ever had, Michelin star quality. Staff were excellent, and the setting makes you feel you really are dining in a Royal Palace. We would highly recommend this restaurant
